Audu Innocent Ogbeh’s name has been revealed as one of the names nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari to form his ministerial council and a lot of people have no clue who he is, especially the fact that the father of Bukola Saraki, Late Olusola Saraki has also screened this same man for a ministerial position in 1979.
Ogbeh is a former national Chairman of the PDP between 2001 and 2005 and a founding member of the APC. In 1979, he ran for office in the Benue State House of Assembly on the Platform of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN), becoming deputy speaker of the house.
In 1982 he was appointed Federal Minister of Communications, and later became Minister of Steel Development.
His tenure in office came to an abrupt end in 1983 when Muhammadu Buhari, a Major-General at the time, came into power via a military coup. Ironically, it’s the same Buhari that has nominated him to become a minister.
He was forced to step down from his role as PDP chairman due to his criticisms against the party and his rulership. However, Ogbeh claimed that he resigned only to avoid conflict within the party, and due to a desire to return to farming.
Now, Ogbeh is set to make a comeback to the FEC if he passes the Senate screening slated for next week.
